The following tools and software are what I've used in making this site.
All pages are made by
Zope, under
Apache on Linux. Many thanks to Csoft
for their extremely good and very economical service.
If you are looking for an economic and highly professional
hosting service on Linux with MySQL, full CGI
and PHP support, I can confidently say you don't
find a better option than Csoft
.
I have had this site hosted by Csoft since June 1999
and I hardly faced any problem. When I did have
technical difficulties their e-mail support was
far better than even the ones from big companies
to which pay you 100 times more :-) They may tell they
are just an ISP, but they are far better than
most ASP's out there.
Csoft no longer allows running Zope on their servers, so I run Zope on my home machine, then have some scripts that generate static site out of it. This is then uploaded to Csoft using the great rsync. Read more about it.
